The flower was placed on a flatbed scanner with black felt draped over it.

I was inspired by an exhibit at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens of Joanne Koltnow’s incredible work. She uses a backlit scanner (usually used for scanning transparencies) and prints on a special combination of paper and ink. Oh, and she has an artist’s eye. Her end results are stunning.

This image is nothing like the work Joanne does, but it is fun to try new techniques!
